Because ben thinks he sold the last one last week, so I'll have to wait for the next batch which is sometime in June, and that's like... decades away.
They're all nice colours, really... I never cared about bike colour before, tbh.
Don’t take this as advice, just a statement really
… if I were in your position, I would buy whatever other colour you like, that they have in stock (particularly because you like the others too)
As pointed out in this thread, I have gone through a fair few bikes and so have a lot of my mates. ETAs in the industry is the most inaccurate and frustrating experience you can ever encounter.
My mate that bought a Transition Patrol, waited 6 months for his, after expecting it for no longer than a month. You call the distributor etc up, they say “2 more weeks”. Call after those 2 weeks, then it’s another “2 more weeks”. It’s like some sick in joke or something. Bird might be entirely different, particularly because there’s no middlemen.
How sure is Ben that manufacturing is on target?
edit: saw you posted since I wrote this: Raceface Ambush Kneepads I'm loving. If they die, I'd just buy another pair. You won't find the perfect pad that is plenty airy and protective, but these are fairly lightweight and I personally don;t notice them when I'm riding. The Scott Grenade pro 2 is supposed to be excellent too, though not tried them myself. The raceface Ambush elbows are class, definitely get them. Raceface's sizing charts is quite accurate, so defininitely check that if you decide to get them.
Bell super 2r is a convertable lid that seems to be better than those godawful things of the past, though I still think they look gash
It'll be winter then. I want one NOW. Did I mention I'm impatient. I'll probably just end up getting whatever they have.
